Elmbridge Museum

Overview

Elmbridge Museum is rather a mixed bag. It's tucked away in the Civic Centre, which might catch you off guard if you're expecting a traditional museum experience. What you'll find is a single glass display case featuring some artefacts, mostly bits and bobs from a Tudor Palace. The feel of the place is a bit underwhelming, but if you're curious about local history, it's worth a quick pop in. Suitable for Suitable for all ages.

The museum has a fantastic website loaded with information, which some say offers a better experience than the physical location. Unfortunately, several visitors have expressed disappointment over the lack of substantial displays and how the artefacts could have been presented better. It's clear that while the potential is there, it's not quite realised.
